Right-Wingers Debunked on Montana's Economic Climate

So last week, right-wingers in Montana were running all over the place claiming the state isn't "attractive to business." Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D), thankfully, debunked the claims - and now he's getting some backup from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation. According to the Associated Press, a new study by the Foundation "says Montana has one of the most business-friendly tax systems in the country." In other words, the right-wingers out here are so desperate to gain power, they are willing to distort the facts about their own state. Pathetic.
